T:Paddy Ryan's Dream 
R:reel 
H:See also #342 
H:Same as the Scottish tune "Miss Lyall" 
H:There is a story that goes with this tune (from Ted Furey): 
H:Paddy Ryan was the son of a widow who lived in the Midlands. He had a dream 
H:that he went to Dublin, and that he walked to and fro on the bridge without 
H:stopping, and that he found his fortune there. He told this strange dream 
H:to his mother, who sold her only cow, and said: "Padraig, go to Dublin and 
H:see about your dream." 
H:So Paddy went on the train to Dublin, and there he marched up and down on 
H:O'Connell Bridge. He hardly had any money left, but after a while he met a 
H:neighbour from home, who said: "What are you doing here, Paddy? Have you 
H:come to Dublin?". "Well," said Paddy, "I had this funny dream three nights 
H:in a row that I should find my fortune here on O'Connell Bridge in Dublin." 
H:"Well," said the neighbour, "that's strange. I also had a dream three nights 
H:in a row that there was a crock of gold buried at the back of your garden, 
H:under a gooseberry bush." 
H:"Oh, I don't believe that", said Paddy. But that night he took the train 
H:back to where his mother lived in County Offaly, and he said: "Mother, find 
H:me a spade", and started digging under the gooseberry bushes in the garden, 
H:and it was true; under the last one, which was all dry and nearly dead, he 
H:found three crocks full of gold. 
H:So Paddy and his mother could buy a lot of cows and build a new house, so 
H:wasn't it true that he found his fortune marching up and down O'Connell 
H:Bridge in Dublin?
